The Speech of the Queen of SPAIN at the opening of the Legislative Session of the Constitutional Cortes, will be found in another part of The Sun. It contains no statement, and makes no disclosures of any political importance. The second paragraph suggests a curious question :—" Between the Queen of GREAT BRI TAIN, the King of the FRENCH, the Queen of POR TUGAL, and myself, continues the Treaty of the 22d of April, 1834." Such is the language of the Royal Speech ; and the question which it suggests is :—Has the conduct of France made such an impression upon the Spanish Cabinet as to induce a formal announcement from the Throne that the Quad ruple Treaty has not yet been set wholly aside ? For our own part we should not at all be surprised to learn that many Deputies entertained doubts upon the subject. At all events there was some tact in thus intimating to the Duke de FERENSAC, the French Ambassador, that the REGENT was not unmindful of a treatyewith France, which, had the King of the FRENCH faithfully performed, would have long since produced the consolidation of the Throne of her august daughter. Notwithstanding the sacrifices made by this country in defence of constitutional Spain, we were not prepared for the complimentary allusion made by the REGENT to the share which our most gracious SOVEREIGN has had in effecting the recognition of the rights of ISA.BELLA 11. by the Sublime Porte. So marked an allusion to the services of England tacitly reflects upon the King of the FRENCH, who, of European Sovereigns, can least excuse the withhold ing of such diplomatic influence on the plea of a ten derness for the claims of a disputed succession. With respect to the paragraph in which the QUEEN says : " Knowing that our enemies receive succours from countries, the Governments of which have not recognized my daughter as QUEEN, I have desired my represen tatives at the allied Courts to claim from them a for mal mediation, in order to put a stop to this violation of the rights of nations," we confess that we do not well know what to make of it. Taking it in its ob vious sense, such a proposal is simply preposterous, and if mismanaged might lead to the lighting up of the flames of war throughout Europe. But the more rational supposition is, that it in volves a scheme for sounding the dispositions of the great Northern Powers upon the merits of the Spanish question, with a view to certain ulterior mea sures. Explanations may be sought, and perhaps will not be refused ; and thus negotiations may be set on foot of the utmost importance to the success of any plans of the Cortes for the pacification of the Peninsula. We are glad to see that the Morning Herald is coming round to our way of thinking, that the farmers will reap little profit from the present high prices of corn. Let the following admissions of the sage who has been contending day after day for weeks to gether that high prices are of no consequence to the labourers whose wages rise in proportion, and that there is nothing in the situation of the farmer and labourer to require a repeal of the Corn-law, be care fully noticed and remembered : Of the distress which rages in the manufacturing districts, the late "demonstration" by " the masses" in favour of Uni versal Suffrage, will be admitted by the greater number of calm observers, to furnish decisive proof. The existing eagerness on the part of the labouring classes for political change, springs, to a great extent, from the influ ence of despair—from the reaction of that sickness of the heart, which follows the extinction of hope, at least as certainly as it follows hope deferred. The savings, on which they may have calculated, will not, most assuredly, be allowed to remain in their pockets ; —on the contrary, the burdens of farmers are sure to be speedily ad justed to the diminished pressure of the poor's rate—whilst the new Poor-law, by its irresistible influence in lowering wages, tends to impoverish, in even a compound ratio, the largest class of consumers of agricultural produce. But the evil to farmers of having supported the new Poor law, does not terminate at the point which we have indicated. No. The observations of Mr. Fiske and of Mr. Gent, at Chelmsford, show that a sharp eye is kept on the farmer's computed profits—and he is deliberately recommended—as the only means of avoiding more unpleasant consequences—to make a more equal distribution of his occasional and fluctuating gains with the labourers in his employment ! Now, in the first place, let it be observed, that the high price of wheat, during the present season, is no proof that the far mers are getting rich t On the contrary, the existing prices, high as they are, will not, on the average, compensate the farmer for the deficiency in his crop. But, in the next place, let it be carefully noted, that to recommend farmers to increase wages, is, unqualifiedly to condemn the new Poor-law, which, of necessity, lowers wages. It is always well—it is always wise—to care for the labouring poor, It is most desirable, at the present moment, undoubtedly, to raise wages in the agri cultural districts, as well as elsewhere ; but why should the expense of raising agricultural wages be thrown upon farmers ? _ _ Now, though the Herald incorrectly asserts that the said condition of the agricultural labourers is caused by the new Poor-law—which is obviously false, for it was at least as bad before that law was passed, particularly in 1830, when they fright • ened the whole community by their outrages in the souther districts—it is of importance, as far as the au thority of ibe Herald goes, which we admit to be very little, to find an ;admission in its columns, that all classes of labourers, particigarlY the agricultural labourers, are in great distress, in;der its much admired Corn law, and that the farn:ers will not be allowed to pocket all the pecuniary advantages they had cal culated on from the new Poor-law. After these extraordinary admissions, we shall scarcely again find the subtle logician of the Herald defending the Corn-law, on the ground that it is beneficial to the farmer, who must not, cannot, and dare not profit by the high price it causes, and that it is not injurious to the labouring classes who, in the manufacturing dis tricts, are driven to despair, and in the agricultural dis tricts, according to the Herald, must now have their wages raised at the public expense. When commerce and manufactures flourish, and po puiation increases, the price of the necessaries of life have all a tendency to rise till the discovery of new and better modes of a griculture, r the opening o f ne w sources for the supply of food, o brings that on a level with or somewhat above the c demand. Thsupe e rise of price, then, and of course comparative riority of prices in a country like England, so much more densely peopled than Russia, is the consequence of pros perity, and particularly the consequence of an increasing population, but not its cause. But a writer in the Post, in an article which we copy, falls into the error of supposing that high prices are favourable to commerce and manufactures, and the c.9.use of prosper rity. He supports his assertion by an anziy of most respectable names ; but those philosophers on;7 ob served the fact of the conjunction of high prices la . th prosper ity, and did not attribute prosperi • ty to the dearness of food. Distress arises from want of food s as its main cause ; and the more abundant and the cheaper the food, the more prosperous are ;lie people. A natural rise in the price of food is an indication that prosperity has received a check ; and an artificial rise, caused by an artificial scarcity, gives such a check to prosperity. In the course of nature the check only stimulates to increased ingenuity and increased exertions, till the check is removed ; the artificial check given by the Corn-laws takes away the means of improvement, stifles agricultural ingenuity, and madly inflicts on so ciety all those evils arising from stopping the progress of population, which some impious men, in the wild ness of their own imaginations, have thought sufficient to justify an imputation on the goodness of the AL MIGHTY ! Some of our readers abroad will probably see with pleasure the manner in which Prince NAPOLEON BONAPARTE has been received at a public dinner at Leamington, and will not fail to read the speech of the Nobleman who proposed his health, and the Prince's answer. He is not likely to be as popular amongst us as old SOULT, but inheriting a name which is a symbol of great power, and is associated with many of the proudest recollections of Englishmen, he will be everywhere looked at with great interest and received with great honour. The backwardness of Lours PHILIPPE in supporting the cause of freedom, and the ugly ru mours afloat of his having entered into a secret treaty with Russia, must tend to make him distateful to the Liberal party in France which placed him on the throne. Under those circumstances the Prince becomes a very important political personage, while the persecution of Lours PHILIPPE shows how much that Monarch dreads him. Louts PHILIPPE is conscious that what he has done, and what he meditates are not ap proved by his own friends, and it is far less a sentiment of justice than the misgivings of his own conscience, which make him persecute Prince NAPOLEON. We direct the attention of our readers to the im portant consequences to the rate-payers of Nliddksex which must result from the triumph the Vestry of St. George, Hanover-square, has this morning obtained over the Middlesex Magistrates in the Court of Queen's Bench, where the Judges unanimously quashed - the County Rate made by the said Justices on the 27th October, 1836. The Right Hon. the President of the Board of Trade is adroitly taking advantage of the leisure af forded him by the Parliamentary recess to advance his damaged credit with the electors of Manchester. there is no telling how soon a dissolution may take place, Mr. POULETT THOMSON is resolved to take time by the forelock, and, leaving his colleagues to shift for themselves, open a normal school of official agita tion on his own private account among his dear Man chester constituents. On Wednesday last the Right Hon. Gentleman met the Committee of the Bonded Warehouses, and gratified himself exceedingly 'by the delivery of a very long speech, in which he endea voured to substantiate as facts two points upon which we profess to have very grave doubts—namely, that no Mi nister ever understood commercial affairs by a thousand times so well as himself, and that few men in the country are by a hundred times so solicitous to advance the true interests of commerce. For this speech we cannot possibly make room, nor is the omission of much consequence. But thanks having been voted to the Right Hon. Gentleman for his extreme courtesy, it will gratify many of our readers to have an opportu nity of perusing the following extract from the speech in which he acknowledged the honour thus done him:— Gentlemen, so far from thanks being due to me, I am in debted to you for any opportunity you will give me of discuss ing matters of business. And if you will only point out to me any matter connected with your trade in which I can be of service to you, it will be my aim, my object, my duty, and my desire to exert myself. I seek, I assure you, I seek only for opportunities of doing it. lam obliged to gentlemen who will write to me, whether as your representative or as a mem ber of the Government, and point out anything in which I can be of service. There are a great many points of detail in commerce which cannot always be present to the recollection, to the mind of every Member of Parliament or of the Govern. ment, although he is President of the Board of Trade, though that situation gives me a good deal of information. There is docility for you! The Right Hon. Gentle. man has actually the humility publicly to confess that there are " points of detail in commerce" which are not always present even to the all-surveying mind of a President of the Board of Trade, and that he will take it kindly to have his memory jogged occasionally. If this be so we will earn for ourselves a debt of eternal gratitude, independently of the many kindnesses which he must already have recorded in our favour. We shall take care that he do not slumber in the Presi dent's chair for lack of jogging. No, no ; Mr. Pou - LETT THOMSON shall not want opportunities for the review of his labours in the service of his country. When we see such numbers of a respectable class like the National Guard of France signing petitions for an extension of the electoral franchise, we .have strong evidence, even without other facts, that the Government of the country is not in unison with the feelings of the great body of the people. The men composing this citizen army are in general tradesmen, shopkeepers, and merchants, who have an interest in preserving peace, and who rationally believe that there can be no lasting peace or security for France while her Government is leagued with the members of the Holy Alliance, the enemies of the French people, and the avowed foes of every popular and liberal institution. With the exception of the change which took place in England immediately after the Restoration, there is no instance of a radical change in the political principles of a monarchical Government equal to that which has taken place in France since 1831. Then LOUIS PHILIPPE at every grand demon stration of public feeling, and on every balcony where they met, was seen hugging the old, unchange able Republican, LAFAYETTE, and vowing eternal fidelity to the principles which drove the old bigoted BOURBONS from the throne ; and now, if they I‘ould allow him to come within reach, he would give the same paternal embrace to the oppressors of Poland, who hate him, his dynasty and his people—nay, pos sibly would thus seal friendship with his beloved cousin, the author of the Durango decree. Ever since he sent his sons to pay court to the great and small despotic Sovereigns in Germany (where, by the way, he found hew much Russia, and Prussia, and Austria disliked him) he seems to have been entirely occupied in devising pleasures to conciliate these enemies of consti tutional liberty. The Press he took care to shackle well before he began his operations. He has quarrelled twice with independent and Republican Switzerland, which, like England, gives shelter to the unfortunate exiles of despotic States. He has broken his contract with England to support the cause of liberty in Spain, and now more effectually supports Don CARLOS than either Austria or Russia. He amuses his people with conquests in Africa, and blockades against weak Re publics in the new world, and finally withdraws his troops from Ancona to please the POPE and Prince METTERNICH. All these are entirely the work of the Citizen KING. He presides and rules over the Cabinet ; we might also say he rules over the Cham bers. In the present state of the electoral franchise, with the small number of electors and the means which the Crown has of influencing venal Deputies, he can always command a majority ; and while the army re mains faithful he mayact the despot, like BONAPARTE, without leave or hindrance. It is for these reasons— for measures so utterly at variance with the principles of the three days of July— e that the peaceful citizen not suCh a fool '' power to controul a Sovereign wi ,o is as 014-4 s X., but who, from bli n d calls out f9r THE SUN, LONDON, ambition, and a mad desire to ingratiate himself with despotic Po;,ers, is folioving a line of pollcy much disliked by his people, and probably destined to bring about a more decided revolution than that which placed him on the Throne. The whole of the Paris Journals of Thursday have been received. All the news they contain will be found, by a reference to our extracts from them, in another column. The news from Persia, contained in a letter from Constantinople, which appears in another column, is highly important, but requires confirmation. If Russia has really triumphed in Persia, we may prepare for hot work in the East. MONEY AND COMYIERCIAL NE WS CITY (THIS DAY), TWELVE O'CLOCK Arrivals this morning—French mail ; no ship letters re ceived. We have no arrivals this morning of-the least consequence, with the exception of the French mail and express Irma Paris. The latter brings a document of some importance—the Queen of Spain's Speech at the opening of the Cortes. Within these few days large shipments of British manufac tured goods have been made to the United States. The packet-ship Garrick, of the 25th ult., is daily expected from New York : also an overland express from India, which it is expected will bring some intelligence of importance from that quarter. LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, Nov. 16.—The transactions of the week are extensive, and in Brazil more than usual has been done, the trade having bought freely at to 4 advance. Egyptian is fully 4 per lb dearer, and the Sea Islands at aucti.ui have gone off at rather better prices. In American descri tions we do not make any change, but only full prices are being obtained for them, as well as Surats. The sales of the day are 9,000 bags of all kinds, and a steady market. Spe culators have taken 3,700 bales of American, 1,300 Maran hams, and 250 Pernambuco ; and exporters 1,500 bales of American.

HORSE-DEALERS.—A horse-dealer is the sarneall over the world, from the bogs of Ireland to the deserts of Arabia. I will merely mention, en passant, one instance of knowledge of his craft in an Arab horse-dealer. A friend of mine, in India, had a very old horse, which he exchanged for one out of a lot, giving a handsome difference. Adly or two after I happened to be examining the horses which had lately arrived, immediately recognised my friend Bottle, and merely remarked "he must be a very old horse." The dealer was quite indignant, swore that be was not only a Nedjee (the most ancient and purest breed of horses in Arabia), but one of very high caste, and, moreover, only rising six, in confirma tion of which be requested me to examine his mouth, when, to my utter astonishment, I found his teeth had b-en filed dowa i a .r n epn bishoppeddsodeaof the Sp o rting withlatee Magazine. r eatestzin neatness e. and perfection. • THE ALBION AND THE LORD MAYOR.-The Comet of Guernsey contains, under the head " shameful treat ment to the crew of the Albion, by the Lord Mayor of the city of London l" a complaint (how ill or well founded we know not) that the wrecked crew of the unfortunate barque the Albion, when they made their case known to tl,e Lord Mayor, his Lordship did not himself see the claimants on his commiseration, but an order was given to find them s lodging, when they were taken to " a jail among a large number of the dregs of society, there to be fed on gruel and barley bread!" The Comet further states that " the mate, (a very respectable man), who was one of the number, asked on the following t a the and is poorui nnddi g a fellowsna benevolentn contrasts it w who h morning to go out on business, for an hour; b u t t h at was a favour not to be granted to a shipwrecked marine r i n t h e authorities, itComet ies, s C allegedhri Christian a n c o c n i d t c o t f of Londonthe city r' that were of homeless,the people ue I c s fß e Boulogne, where e w n h n e y r i e e s sf the ss, hospitality. yesterday 2 in Wappin g , on the bodyAn inquest of youth,es a whoses held iwdelath was occasioned by the falling of an iron crane attached to Leith and Berwick wharf.

Verdiet—" dental death." At Guildhall yesterday a man was charged before Sir Chapman Marshall with having discontinued an allowance of 4s. a week, which he had for some time made to his wife, who lived apart from him. The man said she was a perfect fury, and anything but well conducted, but he would allow her 2s. a week, which he thought enough , as she was young and able to work. " You may keep your paltry 25.," cried the wife, " but I will be after you every night. I will be with yog at your singing-rooms and suppers, your raffles and dances. I will stick to you, you and she bounced out of the room. The husband eyed her out of the door, began to weep, and begged for protection. Sir Chapman said he could best protect himself by paying the 45., and dis missed the case, AY, NOVI4nIBER 17, 1838. CHANCERY COURT.—(THIS DA c'.`, CLOUGH V. BOND.-JUDGMENT. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this case, which came before the Court upon appeal from the decision of his Honour the Vice-Chancellor. The plaintiffs were entitled, under the will of Ann Dixon, to a certain interest in her personal estate. In the year 1829 letters of administration were taken out, with the will annexed, by John Brooks Dixon and John Bond. In 1832 Bond died, and the defendants were his personal representativei. Some time after Bond's death, Dixon drew out of Childs, the bankers', a certain - fund which had been placed by Bond and himself, in their joint names, in that house ; and the consequence had been that that fund had been altogether lost. The plaintiffs then filed their bill, insisting that Bond's estate was liable to make good the loss, inasmuch as he had committed a breach of trust in disposing of the money as he had done. Upon the case coming before his Honour the Vice-Chancellor, he declared that the estate of Bond was liable to make good the loss ; and from that decision the present appeal was brought. His Lordship was clearly of opinion that the deposit of the money had been improper, and ordered the appeal to be dismissed, with costs. DRYDEN V. FROST. His LORDSHIP also gave judgment in this case, which was an appeal from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor, declaring that the plaintiff was an equitable mortgagee, and was also entitled to certain costs at law. His Lordship considered the first part of the decree right, and ordered it to be affirmed ; but with respect to that part which directed the defendant personally to pay to the plainliff the costs at law, his Lordship directed it to be struck out. The Court declined giving any costs on the appeal. BOWES V. FIRNIE. His LORDSHIP was engaged the remainder of the day in his private room with the arguments on this case. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) IMPORTANT PETITION IN CONSEQUENCE OF THE ABOLITION OF SLAVERY IN THE WEST INDIAN COLONIES. NEATE V. PINK. This case came before the Court upon the petition of Mr. Horsley Palmer, the consignee of an estate in Jamaica, praying that the Court would order a certain sum to be paid to him out of the funds in Court, in order that he might be enabled to meet bills which had been drawn upon him by the managers of the estate in Jamaica. The pre sent application had become necessary, in consequence of the total abolition of slavery in the West India Colonies, rendering it imperative that the daily expenditure of the Colonies should be met, and the negroes paid, in order to afford to them the necessaries of life. Mr. TURNER opposed the application on the ground that the proper course would be for the consignee to send out the money himself, and repay his advances by the proceeds that might conic to his hands. - The VICE-CHANCELLOR said the general course was for the consignee to go on making advances, and repaying himself, and when he had a balance due to him far which lie trembled, then he presented a petition praying to be discharged as consignee. Mr. BURGE, who appeared on behalf of the petitioner, said if Mr. Palmer had known at the time he paid the fund into Court, part of . which he now sought to be paid out, that the abolition of slavery would have been made complete in all the British 'West India possessions, he would probably have hesitated before he paid that money into Court. He trusted that the Court would not withhold its assent to the present application, otherwise the negroes might refuse to work, because in truth there would be no person or means to pay them their wages. The result of such a proceeding might be attended with great mischief, and might prejudice a great public measure in the cause of humanity in the eyes of surrounding countries. His HoNoun thought the better course would be to provide for the sudden contingency that had now arisen for the first time, instead of allowing time to elapse or quibbling about who should or should not be the consignee. He would therefore make the order asked by the petition ; and if Mr. Turner's clients were dissatisfied with Mr. H. Palmer they might present a petition. If the money was ad vanced out of the fund in Court, when the proceeds were re ceived from the next crop the amount might be easily replaced. His Honour would therefore make the order, being satisfied it would not prejudice Mr. Turner's client. BALDWIN V. THE SOCIETY FOR THE DIFFUSION OF USEFUL KNOWLEDGE. Mr. WYGRAM then proceeded with his opening of the motion in this case, the object of which was to obtain an injunction to restrain the defendants from publishing certain maps, and had not concluded when our reporter left. We refrain from going further into the case until it shall have been more fully heard. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) MACK V. BUTLER. • this case, in which the bill was filed for the specific performance of an agreement, and which was part-heard yesterday, occupied the attention of the Court the whole of the morning. QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIs DAY.) TIE QUEEN V. THE RATE-PAYERS OF ST. GEORGE, HANOVER-SQUARE. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, on Wednesday evening, opened this case, which he said, was an appeal made by certain rate-payers of the parish of St. George, Hanover square, against a rate for the county of Middlesex, made on the 27th October, 1836. The appeal was dismissed by the Magistrates, subject to the opinion of the Court upon the following case. The case first set out several sections of the Act 3d Geo. IV., chap. 107, local and personal. The 6th section enacted—That at every general Quarter Sessions of . the Peace, for the county of Middlesex, on the' first day of the Session, the county treasurer should render an account of all the monies received by him by virtue of his said office, up to the irst day of the said Sessions ; that, thereupon, a Committee of Magis trates should be appointed as auditors to examine the accounts, and make a Report to the Sessions on any adjournment thereof, and that then the Magistrates were authorised to make a quarterly rate or assessment on said county as hereinafter mentioned. Sec. 9 prescribed the mode of making the rate at the Sessions, or any ad journment thereof. Sec. 10 provided that in case it did not appear to the Magistrates at the time of making the rate that three-fourths or more of the monies received by the Treasurer on account of the last preceding rate, had been duly expended, then the order for making any new rate should contain a proviso that no money should be col lected or paid on account of such rate, until three-fourths of the money received on account of the last preceding rate should have been duly expended. It was upon the construction of these three sections that the case arose. Pursuant to these provisions the county treasurer made up his aecounts to the Saturday, 15th October, and they were duly submitted on Monday the 17th, being the first day of the Sessions to the Magistrates, and from these it appeared that there remained in the treasurer's hands a general ba lance of 12,0171. odd. On the 27th October, being the adjournment day, called the county day, the Committee of Magistrates reported that they had audited the trea surer's accounts, and examined the vouchers, and found the balance as above stated. For the purpose of showing that three-fourths of the money received by him had been duly expended, the treasurer then exhibited on oath his re ceipts and expenditure from the 15th up to the 27th Oct. (a copy of Which was attached to the case), from which it it appeared that the general balance in the treasurer's hands was 5,8241.; that one-fourth of the money received by the treasurer was 5,4501, and that deducting from the general balance a sum of 3881. as sundries, which comprised sums received, but not from the last preceding rate, there remained a balance of 5,4351. and a fraction ; thus the ex penditure was shown to have exceeded three-fourths of the money received, by 15/. and a fraction. Among the items deducted was a sum of 1101. on account of rates made in 1834 and 1835, which had remained in arrear. Then fol., lowed a statement which appeared to him (the Attorney- General) conclusive, and which might obviate the necessity of any lengthened discussion. It appeared in the state ment laid before the Justices that more than three-fourths of the money received by the treasurer on account of the last preceding rate, had been actually expended, and there upon the Justices made a rate of one half-penny in the pound, and directed that it should be " forthwith eel, lected." Lord DENMAN—One of the questions raised is, whether the rate made is to be taken as having been made on thc first day of the Session ? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL replied in the allintitive. The Sessions on appeal found that de facto in their opinion three-fourths of the last preceding rate had been expended at the time of making the rate, but w h at b e contended for was, that they had no jurisdiction at all to inquire into that. The o nly question was whether su c h appeared to be the case to the Justices who had made the rate. Now it did so a ppear to them, and they, in the exercise o,f they discretion, had made an absolute rate without any suspensive clause, and he contended that that proceeding on their parts was conclusive to show th at the rate was good, and that it was no ground of appeal at a subsequent Sessions to prove that the Justices who made the rate had come to a wro ng canCIUSIOn. The last day for paying the rate so made was the sth of November ; but the sum assessed upon the appellants was not paid lty them till the 3d of Decen.ber, and that feet was introduced to show that the appellants were not in the slightest degree prejudiced by the n on-introduction of the suspensive clause as three-fifths of the entire amount had then be en expended: The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to refer to the several items of the treasurer's accounts, when Mr. Justice PATTESON observed that be did not see how tlie Sessions could refer the accounts to that Court, when, on the very face of the instrument, they bad decided upon: them already. Surely that Court was not required to eater into items of account and the expenditure of 2d: here and 6d. there. It would be equal waste of the public time. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL assured the Court that it was more a question of law than of figures. The first objec tion made to the rate was that various sums for repairs and other expenses pertaining to the County Lunatic Asylum bad been improperly paid from the general county-rate, whereas by the provisions of an Act, passed for that pur pose, 9th Geo. 4, that expenditure was to be provided for by a special rate. The second objection was that the parties ought to have based their rate on the state of the treasurer's accounts on the first day of the Session ; and that whenever on the first day of the Session three-fourths of the last rate had not been expended, as was the case in the October Sessions, then the proviso should have been in serted, restricting the collection of the new rate until the three-fourths had been expended. In point of fact, that the Justices should look to the state of the treasuaer's accounts on the first day of the Sessions when the accounts were made up, and that although ever so much had been expended between these two periods. still that was not to be regarded by the Justices. The third objection was, that the rate should be based on the state of the treasurer's accounts on the day on which they were dated and allowed by the auditors. But even if the 27th was the proper day, on that day three-fourths had not been expended. With respect to the first objection, the Sessions was of opinion that the sums paid on account of the Lunatic Asylum having been paid by order of the Justices under the provisions of the 9th Geo. IV., c. 43, had been properly charged upon the county rate ; but whether they were or were not so properly charged, he (the Attorney-General) contended that they formed no ground of appe.l. With respect to the second objection, the Sessions was of opinion that the rate ought not to be based upon the state of the accounts on the first day of the Sessions. The third objection was, that three-fourths had not been expended when the rule was made, on the 27th of October, and no suspensory clause had been introduced, but the Court of Quarter Sessions was of opinion, that even if such was the case, froth the state of the treasurer's accounts subsequently, that clause must have been abrogated on the 10th Nov., and consequently, as the rate was not paid by the appel lants till subsequently to that date, they had suffered no inconvenience or injury. The Court therefore dismissed the appeal, subject to the opinion of the Court of Queen's Bench, on the facts above stated, and if the Court was of opinion that the appellants were, under all the circum stances, entitled to relief, then that the rate be altered and amended under the provisions of the 3d Geo. IV., cap. 107, sec. 16, by changing the date thereof from Oct. 27 to Nov. 10. Now he (the Attorney-General) submitted that there was no ground for the appeal. He contended that even if the justices had erroneously found that more than three-fourth had been expended, the Sessions had no authority to open that question, and that it formed no ground of appeal. It was not urged that the appellants had been overrated, but simply that the suspensory clause hdd not been intro duced, and the proviso on which that point arose, was contained in section 10 ; but the Justices having found that three-fourths had been expended, it was not compe tent for the Court of Appeal to open the question. The next point of objection was, that the rate must be based upon the state of the treasurer's account on the first day of the Session ; but it was preposterous to say that no credit was to be given for the sums that might have been and were expended between the 15th and 27th October. The Learned Gentleman then referred to the payments made on account of the Lunatic Asylum, which had been objected to ; but he contended that, under the provisions of the 9th George IV., it was imperative upon the treasurer to pay whatever sums were ordered by the Visiting Jus tices. After entering at some length into the several items of the treasurer's accounts, and pointing out the purposes for which the several sums had been expended, The COURT intimated, that it would hear the remaining arguments of the Learned Counsel on Saturday. , At the sitting of the Court this morning, the ATTORNEY GENERAL resumed his arguments against the appeal, and after recapitulating the objections urged by him on the former day against the appellants' case, concluded by sub mitting that there was no just ground of objection against the rate. The Magistrates had granted the case, not from any doubt they had entertained on the question, but be cause they felt that it was an appeal from their own act, and, therefore, they were reluctant to prevent the parties from taking the opinion of the Court of Queen's Bench upon the case. Mr. ADOLPHUS and Mr. PRENDERGAST followed on the same side. Mr. BODKIN, for the appellants, observed that the pre sent was not a question of a few pounds and shillings on one side or the other, as was at first apprehended, but in volved a great public principle, and when taken in connec tion with the circumstances which had given rise to it, must be looked upon as a question of great importance. The Act of Parliament under which the appellants proceeded, had been called for by the very large deficiencies of former treasurers, arising from their having been allowed to retain very heavy balances in their hands. The Middlesex Ma gistrates had the power of imposing rates to the amount of 70,0001. per annum, and the object of the Act of Parlia ment was to impose some restraint upon the appropriation of these large sums. The position of the appellants was rather unfortunate, for they had to appeal from the Jus tices of Middlesex to the same Justices at Sessions— the Justices made their own terms, and whether successful or not the appellants were obliged to pay the Magistrates' costs as well as their own, and no appeal could be lodged until all the rates bad been paid. Upon the decision of their. Lordships it depended whether the re strictions imposed by the Act of Parliament would be of auy use or wholly inoperative. After the statement of the Learned Attorney, General of the readiness of the Justices to have their decision reviewed, he was rather surprised to hear him contend that even if three-fourths of the money in the treasurer's bands had not been expended, that formed no good ground of appeal. He would now apply himself to the objections that had been taken to the rate in the 'order in which they stood ; and first with respect to the payment of various sums out of the ordinary county rate to the County Lunatic Asylum. Now that misappro priation, he contended, formed a substantive ground of appeal, because it was imperative upon the Justices to levy a special rate for that purpose. Under the former Act it was optional with the Justices to raise the money by a special rate, or pay it out of d ie ordinary county funds ; but by the Nth see. 9 Geo. IV., that option was withdrawn fiat them. The second objec tion was, that the account should have been taken as it stood on the first day of the Session, When that account was regularly audited and allowed, it formed the regular statement of the county funds, upon which the rate was to be based. The Learned Gentleman proceeded to point out the importance of having these accounts thus audited and examined, as by that means a check was placed upon the abuses which formerly prevailed ; but what was there, he would ask, in the Act of Parliament, which authorised the Justices to receive any supplemental account from the treasurer in the course of the Session, and upon that sup plemental account to impose a rate ? The Act provided that copies of the audited account should be posted up, and sent to the several parishes, and all that arrangement was for the purpose of exercising a salutary control over these accounts ; but what check, he would ask, could there be upon the supplemental account sent in by the Treasurer ? He contended, that the princi ple upon which the rate was based was wrong, inasmuch as it was founded upon an unaudited supplemental account, and therefore it must be set aside. Supposing their Lord ships were of opinion that these two objections were unte nable, and that the Magistrates were authorised to receive a supplemental account, then he contended that the state ment of accounts on which the rate was based was errone• ous, and that at the titne of making it three-fourths of the sum received by the treasurer had not been expended. The Learned Gentleman then entered into a detail of the various items in the treasurer's accounts, for: the purpose of establishing that fact, and concluded a very able argu ment, of which the above is merely an outline, by submit. ting that the objections of the appellants were valid, an d that the rate was consequen tl y bad. Mr. DOANE was beard on the same side. The CQURT, after conferring for some time together, ware of opinion that the Justices, in taking the statement of the accounts at a subsequent period of the Sessions, were not justified in imposing a rate without the restrictive clause, and therefore the order for making the rate must be quashed. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) THE QUEEN V. GAMBLE AND OTHERS. )Ir. KELLY moved for a rule to show cause why a man damus should not be directed to the defendants, command ing them to• repair certain parts of the embankments of the River Oust. _ There were not less than 300,000 or 400,000 acres of land vested by several Acts of Parliament in the Corporation of the Bedford Level ; and there were several portions of the Banks which not only protected the navigation of the river and sluices, but also the ad joining lands, which were extremely low and level, frilln inundations. The burden of repairing these banks was generally thrown upon the Corporation, but there were some portions which tht owners of the lands adjoin ing were bound to repair, and there were 500 or 600 yards On the west bank of the river occupied by the defendants, which until within the last year or two had been regu larly repaired by them, but this part was n ow f a lli ng out of repair. The 13edford Level Corporation had given these parties notice to repair, but they had failed to do so, and the consequence was that at :this moment the banks were in ;t mot immineut danger, and if a high n orth-wes t . should arise, or the:e should he an unn?ust bearing- on the banks front the pre s sure of a high't'd,e} the least breach on the bank aboVe a certain level would have the effect, not merely of considerably in j ur ii g the property of the owners, against whom the motion was made, but of inundating 200,000 square acres of land , and would most probably be fatal to the lives of the persons on the spot. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE granted the rule. THE QUEEN V. THE TRUSTEES OF THE SWANSEA HARsotin The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved for a rule to s he l l cause why the trustees of Swansea Harbour go' not bring up an inquisition which had been taken and made a record of the Quarter Sessions for the county. The application was made under the 01 and 7th Willi am IV. c . 126, w hi c h w a s passed to alt er and amend th e severa l A c t s f or the impr ovemen t of th e harbour of Sw ansea , a nd un d er thi s Act jurisdiction t yss given to the Quarter Sessions, upon certain c ontingenc ies ' to summon a Jury in case of disputes arising as to til e purchase of prope r ty.

THE RIOTS AT STA NSFIELD HALL. A rule was granted a few days ago, calling upon the Magistrates of Essex to show cause why four persons, named Aldred, Wright, Dixon and Leggett, who were on' cerned in the late riots at Stansfield Hall, should not i r admitted to bail. Mr. Andrews now moved that the ru be made absolute. The affidavits having been read, Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE directed the parties to be. e r mitted to bail, on entering into recognizances, thems3lvesnl. 1001. each, and four sureties in 251. each. THE QUEEN V. TAUNTON. Sir F. PoLLocx moved for a rule to show cause why a quo warranto should not be directed to the defendant, calling upon him to show by what right he exercised th e office of Town Councillor of Bristol, to which he had re cently been elected. The application was made on th e ground that the name of the defendant did not appear 00 the burgess roll.—Rule granted. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY•) STONE AND OTHERS V. COMPTON.
